Can't send mail with Vodacom 3G on my MacBook

[Helenus]

Can someone please help; I cannot send mail with Vodacom 3G on my MacBook. I have tried all three options in my mail setting's outgoing mail: the box ticked to use only smtp.vodamail.co.za and the ticked to use only iCloud and then the box not ticked to use any of these two.
The mails shows up in my send items and I do not receive any notification that it's not delivered. But my mails do not reach the recipients.
The send mail also lies in my iPad's sent items and when I forward it from there (also 3G) it goes through.

WiFi at home has got no issues.

Thanks

try changing your smtp to smtp.uls.co.za and check if that works.

Thanks Keegan, but that didn't work either.

That's weird,
I know with Microsoft it could be a corrupt outlook file,
Not to clued up with MacBook.

If it is possible, maybe delete your mail account and re add it.

Other than that I have no idea.

Sorry.

Oh and welcome to MYBB...

Is the account type IMAP or POP?

Edit: And who is your mail provider? Gmail?

iCloud IMAP

Try this:

SMTP information for the outgoing mail server:

Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
SSL Required: Yes
If you receive errors when using SSL, try using TLS or STARTTLS instead.
Port: 587
SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
Username: Your full iCloud email address (for example, emilyparker@icloud.com, not emilyparker)
Password: Your iCloud password
